Using prints on posters, clothes and bags to persuade women to wear the Hijab for modesty and morality and for following the Islamic Dress Code

If you’re a regular visitor to our website, you’ll probably know that we published an article August 09, 2010 about an Iranian website promoting chastity and hijab by using posters, clothes and bags. We also showed you some posters which they use for their promotional activities, as it gives us a clear insight in the mindset of these fanatic shi’ites.

They have new posters available on their site, so now we can bring you an update and show you even more posters. You can (more or less) expect the same sort of posters as in the previous post on this issue, but there’s one difference: they seem to make a link to Israel this time as well. And apparently, wearing a hijab is equivalent to boycotting an “immoral” Israel. Their fanaticism is blinding them for the fact that forcing women to wear a hijab really is just oppression of women, because it’s not a free choice for Iranian women. And what has Israel to do with Iranian women wearing a hijab?

David Greenberg wrote on his blog:

“Their idea of honor is irretrievably linked to control. Control over women to protect family honor and their own self-image. Control over outsiders to maintain the status of family and faith. And a constant expansion of that control is needed to reassure them of their honor… Women must cover their faces. And then even one eye. And there is no end to it. Never any end to it. The Burqa [or hijab] is a tool of dehumanization and control. It is part of the larger Jihad, which is not just about terrorism, but about the complete subjugation of the entire world and everyone in it, to Sharia, islamic law. In order to reaffirm islam and the tribal honor of Muslims. It is unacceptable… because it represents the dehumanization of millions who will be forced to submit to it. And many millions more yet to come.” [SultanKnish; Sun, may 23, 2010.]

Maybe that’s also an answer to the Arab-Israel conflict: fueled and instigated by Islamic exegesis and history, both are part of the global jihad to conquer the world (and destroy Israel and freedom in the process) and to submit every woman to Allah’s Islamic Law (and wearing a hijab).

What’s behind a woman’s chador?

Well, that’s of course confidential and top secret. Who wouldn’t agree with that? Why a woman should need to be forced to wear a hijab or chador to keep her body to herself is still a question that needs to be answered.

Text on poster reads: “When choosing a wife come a step down and when choosing a friend go a step up”

What a Muslim thinks of a woman on high heels: “In principle all clothing are permissible, and it is only what leads to a religious prohibition that is forbidden. Wearing high-heeled shoes is included in this principle. However, since in general wearing such shoes makes the woman’s walk enticing and seductive. Moreover, it may expose parts of the woman’s beauty or sometimes make attractive noises. Therefore, a woman should not wear them except in front of her husband or when being in company of women only.” Enlightening. [Yahoo Answers]

Don’t lift up your skirt

Text on poster reads: “Feminism. Women are not goods!”

Well, this is how you’ll look like without a veil.

Text on poster reads: “Veil = largest / best / most precious”

Text on poster reads: “Hijab. My Right, My Choice, My Life.”

I see a dehumanized anonymous person with No Right, No Choice, No Life.

Another “Hijab. My Right, My Choice, My Life.”

Another dehumanized anonymous person with No Right, No Choice, No Life.

If you wear lipstick, you’re immoral and you probably don’t know that L’Oreal supports Israel.

Text on poster reads: “You. Buy L’Oreal, kill the innocent. Did you know L’Oreal Co. supports Israel?” But who are the innocent? And just to help your thinking… how L’Oreal Lipstick helps Israel to kill innocent people is a puzzle to me. But I do know how Nokia Siemens assisted the Basij (Ahmadinejad’s paramilitary thugs) and Iran’s security forces by selling them sophisticated mechanisms for controlling and censoring the Internet to crush the democratic Green Movement demonstrations. Now that’s killing the innocent. By the way, did you notice the star of David on the lipstick? Also, the shape of the lipstick case looks similar as a bullet. Lot’s of imaging here.

And to answer the question in the previous poster: these are the innocent

Text on poster reads: “Hijab is innocence.” Wear a hijab and you are not guilty. If you’re not guilty, you are innocent and you will not be stoned by a fanatic shi’ite mob. Although being innocent is dangerous as well, because as we have learned in the previous poster: Israel kills innocent people (for wearing hijabs).

They consider the 16th-century Mona Lisa portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance period in Florence (Italy) as immoral. But because Europe had its Renaissance, it managed to escape from the dark Middle Ages and develop into a modern society with equal rights for all people. Renaissance is one thing Islam is still missing.

The original Mona Lisa.

And this is not a joke either: fanatic Iranian religious police women wearing hijab and carrying weapons.

But now I know at least what they fear…

…Independent women with free choice, equal rights, independent life

Note:

[1] A chador or chadar is an outer garment or open cloak worn by many Iranian women in public spaces; it is one possible way in which a Muslim woman may follow the Islamic dress code known as ḥijāb.
